Click on the radio icon to listen to WROX live.  It works best with WinAmp.  If you have trouble listening, check out these helpful hints:

1)  Be sure you have a compatible MP3 stream player installed on your computer. We like WinAmp, available for free at www.winamp.com.

2)  Be sure that your MP3 stream player (again, we like WinAmp) is set up to be the default player for MP3 streams. The link on our web site is a .pls file. Your player (did we suggest WinAmp?) should be the default player for .pls files. You'll find this setting in the "Preferences" section of WinAmp.

3)  You can manually play the WROX Radio stream by opening WinAmp, click on "File", then "Play URL...". Type this in the box...  http://69.92.100.32:8000. Then click "Play".

4) If you want to use another player, we have successfully used Windows Media Player, version 9 (that's the "current" version). To use Windows Media Player, open it, then click "File", then "Open URL...". Enter this address in the box... http://69.92.100.32:8000. This should work for you, although the audio may take several seconds to start playing.

5) Real Player may also work for you. Open it, click "File", then "Open Location" and enter... http://69.92.100.31:8000 in the box. 

It's quite normal for the audio stream to drop out from time to time..  If you are using WinAmp as your player, you should have the least number of problems since WinAmp works with our server to buffer a lot of audio data. No matter which player you use, you will likely have to click the Play button sometimes to re-start the audio stream.

If you're using a dial-up connection, it's unlikely that you'll enjoy our audio stream for long periods. You'll probably need to connect to your ISP at 36 kbps or greater to have any chance of listening.  And, if you do other surfing or e-mail at the same time, you'll quickly overwhelm the dial-up connection with requests for data. This works best on a "broadband" connection. Your mileage may vary.
